This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we are each given a tasked of calling out Five iconic Toy Villains.  But we have placed some ground rules down, and narrowed the window of this rounds Evil Doers release dates to the years between 1970 & 1989.  With the four of us in the room each voting; we will ultimately form the Toy Power Top Twenty Villains!  This is a lot harder than one may think.......

This week on the Toy Power Podcast we have our very knowledgeable Guest: Floppy; back in studio with some proper get-to-know-you Questions.  Then we MASK-UP as we sing our way into the mid-eighties Toyline that was M.A.S.K. from Kenner.  We each pick out a standout release from each wave.  This is incredibly fun, as some of us in the room aren't as familiar with the Toyline as others.  This is whe...

Whilst we await the return of Floppy for a M.A.S.K. centric episode (and a few technical issues), enjoy this TOY POWER mix tape, full of songs about being a Toy Collector!

This week on the Toy Power Podcast we have a very special guest join us; Mr. Floppy Starick!  (more about him next episode...)  Straight into the news, we have Darkseid unveiled in a MegaFig sized offering!  The Famous Vincent Price is remade in plastic form from Neca, and captures him throughout his career.  Mondo reveal a new line of Sofubi style TMNT and that has us all quite impressed!  The Gr...

It's the other (better?) half of our fave Canadian duo - Jay Bartlett! He's here to talk about the upcoming release of N64 Quest, the highly anticipated sequel to the much loved Nintendo Quest. What are the rules this time around? Time crunch, budget pressure - how does Jay handle it? We've been granted special access to watch the first ep - no spoilers here but oh boy, we are in for a treat. We t...

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we are back to exploring all the Toy News that has hit our radar.  Kicking things off, we are back on the McFarlane bandwagon with a 3pk Super Powers Batman set.  New style 66' Batman figures.  More offerings from Trick Or Treat Studios - with the offering of Dr. Killemoff, with a neat action feature!  Hotwheels offers up a 1/64 Transforming Optimus Prime - but...

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we reflect on our efforts from the big 350th ep.  Can't thank everyone enough for all the banter on the various socials we received.  Now its back to normal proceedings, as we start to increase on the episode numbers again!  First news is centered around a Tribute via TMNT of Jack Kirby.  Mondo drop a few bombs with their recent reveals of a 1/6 Thundercats line...

This thing is so big, we had to record in a different room! Streamed live on FB on May the 4th, we opened a truely once in a lifetime item: Mattel's Origins Eternia. You thought we were silly usually, wait till there's no editing, multiple cameras and live comments from all the fans. Insanity abounds, Eternia awaits.  Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcast See omnystudio.com/listener...

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we have Morgan back in studio to get to know a little more about him.  Kicking off with the usual Favourite Toy & Favourite Movie as a 10yr old; plus, a bonus question as well.  Then we jump right into another segment of our ongoing Vintage Toy Awards!  This round focusing on the Evil Decepticons!  We run through all the classic tiers including Standout "Lea...

Long time Patreon Morgan joins us to look at what happening in the world of toys. He's so keen that Frank forgets how to tune a microphone - apologies for the audio issues! There's a slew of Marvel Legends and more Makina - but which colour is our fave? Is this the best version of Cringer Mattel has ever done? Is Beast Man lacking the furry factor? Ben has a cow over the newly revealed Moo-Mesa fi...

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we continue to delay the milestone 350th ep.  However, we still have a fun new show for you all!  Frank has just received his Super 7 Ultimates TMNT Party Wagon and brought it along to review on the show.  It is equally very very large, and incredibly detailed.  We break down all the features as well as the other items that are packed into this Vehicles release....

We're back - all of us this time! Frank details his trip across to the lands of Hobbits and roadworks before we hit another huge day of news. Lots MOTU, Marvel and TMNT but has Ghostbusters finally found a winning formula? It's been called the missing piece to Batman TAS but does that mean Trent's in? We get also get our first look at actual Toy Isle Trent has in his room. big exhale   And a forme...

This week on The Toy Power Podcast, its just the dynamic duo again; Trent & Ben.  This round, we kick things off with a kind of a new segment that we pitch a vintage toy against its modern counterpart version.  The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly.  Trent got so excited, he brought several options to the table.  So we have Green Ghost (aka Slimmer), Power Arm Terminator, Stilgar from Dune, Ming the...

This week on The Toy Power Podcast, we are down to just two hosts.  With Frank enjoying a well earned Family Holiday in New Zealand; and Scot attending to a rather serious incident at home.  So its just Trent & Ben left to surge on with the show!  We bring you all the latest news we could manage, everything from Street Sharks, Ninja Turtles, DC McFarlane and Street Fighter too!  Heaps of MOTU...

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we have Brett back in studio to unpack how Davey & himself came up with the idea of Radical Rewind, as well as their journey to make the first screening of Batman 89'an absolute sell out show success!!  With the announcement of the next film being the 1990's TMNT Live action film in April; Radical Rewind are setting themselves up for an ongoing crowd-puller...

Adelaide silver-fox-nerd Brett Owen stops by to check out the news. Because it's news day, The Todd brings his A(zrael) game. Playmates steps up to the plate with something new, but is NECA closing in already? Lego Batman is usually a big deal but have they missed a trick with the latest set? Ben and Frank step aside so Trent and Scot can gush about Dune Part 2 before we wrap it up with some lates...

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we do a classic retrospective best of vote!  But this time, instead of one big line; we select from three smaller lines, and vote accordingly.  This in turn causes some confusion at the start, but we sort ourselves out; and get the votes right eventually!  Sectuars, Silverhawks & Bravestarr are the challenges for this round, and it proves hard or sometimes o...

In a Marvel heavy episode, there's some controversial Mattel moves that are very not-rock-n-roll. The Todd makes a face that not even a mother could love while the Legends team somehow make two different He-Mans. And is that Battle Cat I see? Why is Wolverine in blue? But it's all ok - because the best of all time Rogue is here. A record breaking mini-fig and all the Marvel on-screen reveals. Then...

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we are joined by very special guest Rob McCallum!  This very busy man, is traveling all around, and we catch him on the road.   With his very successful Mr Dress-up show, and continuing working on Faking Filmation; as well as the upcoming Nintendo64 Quest!  But that's not all...  He has pumped out Season One of a new show titled: Planet Cool Stuff!!   Planet Coo...

Lots of goodness to get into today but is there any bigger story - or toy - than Eternia right now?!? Did you get yours? The Todd celebrates a milestone - prepare the gold paint - there's some great new TF reveals from HasLabs and Marvel Comics tributes. Super7 gives us the last Silverhawk to round out the core team while Super Powers gets some great new stuff. Latest scores gives us fan-made book...

As we enter 2024, we look forward to a number of movies coming out and use our crystal ball to predict: Hit or Shit? From some practically unknown films to stuff that we just know is gonna suck (coughSONYcough), we don't hold back. Only one film gets solid 18/19s from us all and there's a big split on another. Trent takes us on a virtual tour of his revamped toy room. Go find the footage on our so...
